Work has had me tearing my hair out lately, and I finally snapped. Tore out the door as soon as it was quitting time, and got in some pig hunting/stump shooting. First time in the wild for this bow... I reckon it needs naming at some point.

Funny how a stick and string can sooth the soul after those days/weeks.

Boy, isn't that the truth! It's just a wonderful feeling to slip through the woods with a longbow or recurve in hand.

Love it Malachi! Hopefully you can get an elk with it! Also, dont ask for your whip back when you fall back in love with the longbow!

Awesomeness!

Well, the Whip is safe with you. I would need the fancy new 10x grip to switch back to a Toelke. As for elk, it isn't in the cards this season. I'll just be pounding the public lands here in TX.

Don’t know how this happened

I think I'm just going to photo journal my hunts here through the season.

Evening of September 30th saw me crawling into a sleeping bag in the bed of my truck, with a plan to hike a mile into some public I frequent. Coyotes were howling all night long, and I had even seen a bobcat at last light. I was already having a great hunt, and the season hadn't even started! The plan for the morning was to ease into a spot I picked based off my maps, because my scouting hadn't turned up much sign.

To make a long story short, I picked a great spot, but it's hard to pick a tree in the dark, and I wound up seeing lots of deer, but the only ones in range busted me while I was still looking for the right tree to climb. I eased out fairly early because it was a doe bedding area, the wind was getting iffy, and I wanted to keep it intact for a future hunt. I sat a funnel in the afternoon, but saw a whopping zero deer. Remarkably, I never got a crack at a squirrel, which is usually not an issue where I'm hunting. First blood will have to wait I guess!

Sounds like a good start to the season,.. which broadhead did you decide on?

[DRT]

Looks like the edge of an opening.

Helical, I went with Iron Wills, courtesy of Tradman!

And yes, it's fairly open Gary. The grass is so matted down in there it looks like cattle have been in there, but it's all deer sign.

[BeardedAg08]

How high up are you in that tree?

[Trumpkin]

Five feet!

Counting on the backcover and my leafy suit to keep me hidden there.

Plus as skinny as he is he looks like one of the tree trunks.
